Just buy a lighter sporter one with the synthetic stock for carry and basic plinking .

I have 5 .22s Ruger , Savage , Marlin , Jennings and they all have there purpose . My 10/22 is all tactical looking , Savage is my heavy barrel target gun and my Jenning is one of those guns that just sits in the safe cus it's junk

Are you planning on doing more work then just a new lighter stock ? I would make that thing heavier and use it as a target rifle
